Hey everyone, I have been taking pics for years and more so since 2017 when I joined Steemit. The shot I have been wanting to capture for many years is this one right here and I am elated, Patience really does pay off!
As far as I am concerned any shot of a bug or bird just as they are taking off truly is epic and today finally after 2 arduous years trying finally I nailed it, and here it is..
Normally I save the best shot for last but with that timing just had to put it as pic 1. How lucky was I to get that right? These wings actually fold up, if you have a look at the wingcaps/covers they are literally half the size of the wings. Watching these unfold as she takes off, truly remarkable!
This Lady-Bug was busy hunting for aphids on my Tahitian Butternuts as I was busy trying to capture the perfect shotpo
Here we have a general overview of the Tahitian Buttenut plant, taking a closer look you will notice a yellow flower, this is the beginning of the fruiting Tahitian Butternut, I am rather excited about this probably within a month we shall be able to harvest and eat these.
This pic as she was approaching the end of the leaf in preparation for take off.
The contrast between red and green of this lady buy truly is gorgeous, Often I find these on my other vegetables, they love foraging the kale and Chinese Machilli Cabbage normally plenty food (aphids) on those vegetables! About 5 seconds before take off 4, 3, 2, 1 snapped the top pic and she was off.
I trust you have an epic week but with BTC doing what it is, SIGH, MOON when, crypto's really are a little exhausting at the moment especially when you are in a long term long BTC trade but remain optimistic and HODL we shall!
